Third Quarter of FY2025February 4, 2026
Executive Summary
Financial Results for Third Quarter of FY2025 [Consolidated Results]
Consolidated core business profit landed at ¥101.1 billion (+¥13.2 billion year-on-year). This represents steady progress of 78.8% against the annual projection of ¥128.4 billion.
≫ Core gross business profit increased by ¥22.6 billion year-on-year, driven by an increase in domestic net interest, as well as recording revenue from external
system sales related to Minna Bank.
≫ Overhead expenses increased by ¥9.5 billion year-on-year primarily due to an increase in base pay and DX-related growth investments; however, they are being appropriately controlled while carefully assessing the return on investment for each initiative.
Consolidated net income landed at ¥70.3 billion (+¥9.6 billion year-on-year). This represents strong progress of 87.9% against the annual projection of ¥80.0 billion.
≫ Gains (losses) on securities improved by ¥7.1 billion year-on-year, due to appropriate portfolio rebalancing in light of market trends.
≫ Credit cost was a net provision of ¥6.8 billion. While there were no significant changes in new bankruptcies or rating changes, credit cost increased by ¥5.5
billion year-on-year, primarily due to the absence of gains from recoveries of large loans recorded in the previous year.
Average loan and deposit balances maintained an upward trend, and unrealized gains (losses) on securities (after considering hedges)
improved by ¥133.5 billion compared to March 2025.≫ Average loan balance* increased by ¥365.9 billion year-on-year (annual rate of +2.3%), and the average balance of deposits*, etc. increased by ¥80.5 billion (annual rate of +0.4%). Both loans and deposits are maintaining an upward trend.
≫ Unrealized gains (losses) on securities (after considering hedges) improved to +¥114.2 billion overall, primarily due to an increase in unrealized gains from
investment trusts and stocks following the rise in stock prices.
Revision of Annual Earnings and Year-End Dividend Projection
The projection of consolidated net income has been revised upward to ¥85.0 billion from ¥80.0 billion, and DPS has been revised upward to ¥180 from ¥170, reflecting an increase of ¥10.
≫ Based on the third quarter results and the expected increase in core business profit mainly driven by net interest income toward the fiscal year-end, the bottom line has been revised upward by ¥5.0 billion.
≫ Based on the shareholder return policy (target dividend payout ratio of around 40%), the projected year-end dividend per share has been revised upward to
¥95 from ¥85.
*Figures are on a banks total basis, and the average loan balance excludes loans to Government, etc. 1

Consolidated Non-interest Income (excluding gains (losses) on bonds)Consolidated non-interest income increased by ¥4.7 billion year-on-year, driven primarily by the recording of revenue from external system sales (related to Minna Bank).
Investment trust-related income increased by ¥0.2 billion year on year, as an increase in trust fees driven by the buildup of balances more than offset a decline in sales commissions.
